...this one is over the top.
ReplyDeleteGreat mural Andy. A pity that I don't know the music of any artist named here.
ReplyDeleteWow, impressive!
ReplyDeleteNow that's a great way to brighten up a block of brick buildings!
ReplyDeleteQuite impressive artistry, that's for sure. I just don't much like these huge wall paintings. You can never get away from them! :)
ReplyDeleteA wonderful tribute to a musical past!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great, monumental mural. The size is amazing. How fine to celebrate the past music on this street.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful mural. The second's my preferred angle, as it includes BB and Oscar.
ReplyDeleteI saw Muddy Waters at some club that I don't remember on Yonge St. way back then!
ReplyDeleteMagnificent mural !!!
ReplyDeleteI agree--- impressive. I was a bit surprised to find Gordon Lightfoot with the others. Not that he wasn't wonderful back in the 60's and 70's, but...
ReplyDeleteVery impressive indeed.
ReplyDeleteThey are well done, looking wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI'm stunned by the proportions and it is a beautiful piece. The logistics of making something like this must be extraordinary.
